Summary:
The laws of 1788 required judicial officers (construed to include lawyers) to sign two oaths: one renouncing allegiance to
any foreign king, prince, or potentate and swearing allegiance to the State of New York; and the other swearing to execute
their office to the best of their ability. Later laws amended these oaths. This series consists of the signed oaths of office
taken by attorneys of the Supreme Court of Judicature and by solicitors and counsellors in Chancery.
